[NAFDA] The place for casting and other vague spoilers, for those who merely want to wade, not drown, in the spoiler sea. Episode titles, writers, and preview speculation in black font. Exiting cast, TV Guide and other entertainment articles and their discussion white-fonted. Hard core spoilers are not allowed.
The OUaT showrunner has said that no one in Storybrooke is going to turn out to be the Lost Third Princess of Arendelle or anything like that. Link.
He also says that in Storybrooke time it's still early enough in 2013 that
Frozen
hasn't come out yet.
(Oh, God. That means
Maleficent
is going to show up in theatres sometime in Season 5.)
The Episode titled "Oracle" has sadly been renamed "The Secret Origin Of Felicity Smoak".
At least it's not named "The One Where Felicity Suffers A Spinal Injury".
"The One Where Emily Suffers A Spinal Injury".
Sounds like a very special episode of Friends.
Hee. . . or the very special episode where Felicity cuts her hair. . . to reference a different Felicity.
Rila Fukushima (who played Yukio in The Wolverine) is going to replace Devon Aoki as Katana on S3 of Arrow: [link]
I'm... kind of pleased? The only thing I saw Aoki in was in Sin City where she didn't impress me much; on the other hand, I thought Fukushima had a lot of charisma in The Wolverine (I was lukewarm on the movie, and she was my favourite thing about it.)
I agree re: Fukashima. I loved her and her character, and thought she had charisma on-screen to burn.
And that article pointed me to this one about J.R. Ramirez being cast as Wildcat.
Arrow just cast Matt Nable (who??) as
Ra's al Ghul,
who will likely be season 3 Big Bad: [link]
Gillian Anderson has been promoted to a series regular for S3 of Hannibal!
